Tyre details:
Toyo R888 is a premium summer tyre designed for cars with a sporty nature. The model is equipped with a directional tread which performs very well on any type of surface. It is worth bearing in mind that its sporty tread pattern gives limited resistance to aquaplaning. Therefore, Toyo R888 is not recommended for wet surfaces.
Toyo R888 is a professional sports tyre that performs very well in extreme and demanding conditions. The tread was developed using a special and innovative “GG” rubber compound which was created for race cars. It is distinguished by flexibility in a wide range of temperatures, which makes the compound maintain an appropriate structural stiffness during high-speed driving. The corrugated channels going from the centre towards the edge ensure a high transmission of power to the surface. This improves driver-tyre communication and driving precision. As a result of using a flat tyre profile and a wide tread, the area of contact between Toyo R888 and the road has been increased. This ensures better grip and stability during driving. The model is the perfect solution for drivers who prefer sporty and dynamic driving without compromising on safety. The engineers took care to give optimum distribution of pressures acting against the tyre. As a result, the tread wears slowly and evenly. This gives the opportunity to fully enjoy the tyre’s performance during the its entire life without worrying about a decrease in its parameters or driving safety. Toyo R888 stands for durability, reliability and excellent parameters.
